A German paper relates that during
the absence Of his son Louis, who had
gone on distant journey. Prince Fer
dinand of Prussia, who then resided at
the palace of Belle Vue, near Berlin,
caused some alterations to be made in
the park by the introduction of arti-
fetal hills, lakes and grottoes. in order
to crafty the young Princes love Of
the romantic when he returned from
his foreign tour. Soon after his ar
rival Prince Louis was shown round
the park BY his proud father, who did
not fail to point out to him all the beau
ties Of the scenery. An hour later q
placard placed by some wag was dis
covered on the outer gate with the fol-
lowing inscription: Visitors are re-
quested to be careful not to crush the

A NAUTICAL CHAT.
MIR. McGinnis' RecoIlections Of Course ON
the Deep Blue Sea.


the Deep Blue Sea.
Esmerelda Longcoffin-I have just
BEEN reading an article about yacht
racing. How delightful it must be
to skim over the bright blue sea!
Hostetter McGinnis-You have been
on yacht during rough weather, have
you, Miss Esmereldap
Esmerelda-Never yet, but know
should enjoy it ever SO much.
Hostetter-Well, when / paid visit
to my uncle in New York some years
ago accepted an invitation to go out
on yacht.
Esmerelda-I presume you had a
very fine time. Do you love the sea,
Mr.. McGinniss?
Hostetter-Well, on that particular
occasion, while was looking over the
railing l felt ready to give up every
thing for it, and in fact 1 did then and
there.
Esmerelda-Were you seasickp.
Hostetter-I was very much dis
gusted with the motion of the vessel.
Esmerelda-Didn't the sea fill you
with emotion?
Hostetter, shaking his head-Not at
all. On the contr airy, it rather emptied
me.
Esmerelda-Uh! .
Hostetter-Yes; that's what / said
several times.
Esmerelda-Was that the first time
you had ever been to sea?
Hostetter-That was the first and
last time. / had. however, been half
seas over from indulgence in schooners.
There was only one man on the yacht
who was not affected. He was doctor.
He was so accustomed to see sickness
that the motion of the yacht had no
effect whatever on him.
Esmerelda-I suppose you we're out
Of sight of landp
| Hostetter-Yes, we We're out of sight
of land, although it was only two miles
off. but unfortunately it was straight
down, and sick as was didn't care to
travel in that direction. Damp clothes
always give me rheumatism.
Esmerelda-rve read that wine was
a great remedy for sea-sickness.
Hostetter-The wine I wanted most
was port.
Esmerelda--After what you have told
me I don't think I'll ever care to go to
sea.
/ Hostetter-H you should ever 60 to
sea, Miss Esmerelda, there are several
little things you want to remember. In
the first place, if you hear the captain
talking about crack yacht don't ask
him if q crack yacht is a yacht that
leaks. Remember that the swell of the
sea is not caused by dropsy, and that
ships are never boarded at hotels.
Make friends with the steward or stew
ardess, for there is no telling how soon
you may need his or her services, and
you must not get angry if, after rolling
all night, the steward asks you if you
don't want fresh roll
| Esmerelda-Thank you, Mr.. McGin-
mis-, I'll try and remember what you
have said.-TerGS Siftip0s.

STRENGTHENING FOOD.
A Subject OF Considerable Interest
Raisers of Poultry.

A Subject OF Considerable Interest to
Raisers of Poultry.
With poultry culture, the use of
strengthening, stimulating food is very
important at certain times, but when
ever it is used it should always be ac-
companied with caution and good judg-
ment on the part of the breeder. There
is time for all things, and the time to
use food calculated to force growth or
production is only when such course
will do good and not do harm.
Ireally believe that it is best not to
give the breeding stock any stimulating
food, other than occasionally to supply
or provide for any lack Of insect or
animal diet that may occur. Fowls that
are fed too abundantly on animal food
soon show the bad effects created by
such treatment.
To treat the fowls in the best possible
manner is to initiate nature as closely
as possible. A very little meat for
each fowl, and the same of green food
is all they require of this kind Of diet,
as the only thing to be accomplished is
to supply their natural demands in as
natural way as possible.
In speaking in the above manner I
mean to apply principally to fowls in
tended for breeding purposes only, for
when the fowls are raised principally
for market purposes the case becomes
quite different, the idea then being to
get the most good in the least possible
time. Cooked food is excellent in ac-
complishing this result, and should be
used freely, and any such stimulating
and warming food as onion, red pepper
and such like should be supplied occa-
sionally and as often as the breeder
thinks it is advantageous to his flock.
The principal value of such stimulating
food is to warm up the whole system
and this will serve to act as an appe-
tizer, and by a judicious use of this
kind Of diet it viii not only be valua-
BILE for what little nourishment it con-
tains in itself, but the other food will
be better assimilated by coming in con-
TACT and being treated in connection
with this stimulating food.

account A visit to the museum of this
ofhce shows the manifold uses to which
the mails are put in the transportation
OF matter other than letters. In this
collection, which preserves only the
most notable objects, may be found
boots, shoes, coats. shawls, bed quilts,
hoop skirts, rattlesnakes, horned toads,
gloves, lace collars, photographs,
jewelry, false hair, ,,etc. The arti-
cles received in the mails are
retained for two years, and then,
If not called for, are sold at public auc-
ton. The sale last year realized over
$1,000 The system Of keeping such
vast amount Of matter together, with
the necessity of being able to produce
any article called for in the mass of
stuff accumulated, involves a very nice
method of bookkeeping. The store
house is in the depths of the Post-ofice
Department building, in what might be
called the catacombs, for the place is
nearly all under ground, and the ar
rangement of the labeled packages in
little alcoves extending from the walls
to the ceiling justifies liking the place
to the catacombs.
However, it is a mighty storehouse,
and while apparently it is labyrinth
without a clue, there can be no more
orderly place. For every day an in
quiry comes for some portion Of the
contents, and the keeper of the crypt is
able to lay his hands instantly on any
package, however small, the moment
there is call for it.
The yearly increase in the amount of
matter handled by the Dead-Letter
Office, which, while comparatively
small. is nevertheless constant, might
lead to the conclusion that the Ameri-
can people were yearly becoming more
careless. For, after all, carelessness is
the cause of large proportion of the
early deaths of postal matter. The in
crease in the Dead-Letter Office matter
last year was little over five per cent,
but this increase is not nearly proper
toned to that of the volume of matter
committed to the mails. Last year the
increase in the amount of matter of all
kinds sent through the mails was about
nineteen per cent. So it may be con-
cluded that while the dead-letter matter
increases, this increase is due mainly to
the growth of the country and the ex-
pansion of the postal service. Wash.

of writing, particularly much very
large writing; and the like. 1t is not
often that such people have the oppor-

the compositor to their peculiar system
of Typography. M. Richet prints few
specimen pages of such an author, and
counts twelve different kinds of letters

capitals, exclamation points, and so on,

AT meeting of the Physiological
Society Of Berlin it was given as fact
that when the bee has filled his cell and
has completed the lid a drop of formic
acid, obtained from the poison bag con-
nected with the sting, is added to the
honey by perforating the lid with the
sting. This formic acid preserves honey
and every other sugar solution from
fermentation. Most of the insects that
have singing apparatus similar to
that of the bee are collectors and
storers of honey, SO the sting has a
double function-it is a weapon and a
pickle.-Foote's Health Montalg.
